“Why am I always involved with this?! I am not a member of the military! I also don't understand this power!”
Ivew let go of the resentment inside his room in the western pavilion. Veister's cat was just speechless staring at the fiery-looking Ivew, while Laveon and Leister were just speechless and leaning against the sofa
trying to release his tiredness and sadness.
“Kurasa because you emerged as the owner of the forces of nature. You know Ivew .. for the Emperor you are the new variable that may be the key to our victory.”
Ivew turned his head when he heard Leister's opinion. The emerald-eyed girl sighed and sat down beside Laveron who had been silent earlier.
The navy-eyed young man glanced at the younger brother who closed his eyes trying to calm down, the young man's fingers felt a sense of heat from the younger brother's body. It was as if he was touching a burning fire.
“Please calm yourself Ivew! Your body feels hot like embers,” Laveron said as he rubbed Ivew's head slowly.
The emerald-eyed girl muttered softly and leaned on Laveron's shoulder who kept stroking her hair. Leister only glanced at the Mirabeth brothers with a smile on her face, while Veister's cat sat down and glanced at Ivew leaning on Laveron, his two-colored bead catching the orange glow that was emanating from Ivew's body.
What is the power of fire? Veister's inner cat continued to stare at Ivew as the orange glow began to faint and disappear.
“So what are your next plans?” veister's cat asked attracted the attention of everyone in the room.
Leister who was reading through some of the documents Diano gave before they parted glanced at the silent Laveron and Ivew who seemed to close his eyes. The navy-eyed young man sighed and leaned on the sofa behind him.
“I will have to return to the military center in the main palace and will probably depart from there for the expedition. How about you, Young Master?” laveron asked who now placed the documents he read on the table.
“I have to go back to Flowerlax region. I got a letter from Lolita sent by pigeon letter .. There was a slight disturbance in the mansion,” replied Leister stretching his body.
Laveron nodded at Leister's reply and glanced at the sleeping Ivew still leaning on his shoulder. The navy-eyed young man smiled and positioned his sister more comfortably on her thighs.
“Young Master, can I ask you something?” laveron asked in silence and looked back at Leister who looked at him in wonder.
The ruby-eyed youth nodded when he saw the serious gaze Laveron gave.
“I want you to look after Ivew as long as I have no Young Master. I wasn't always able to be with him and maybe danger was always lurking in his footsteps. So ... if Young Master is nearby can Young Master guarantee his safety?”
Laveron said as he stared at Leister's ruby bead which now looked at him warmly and smiled sincerely.
“Sure Laveron. I will definitely keep her safe because I feel guilty anyway. Because I am the power so known to many people,” replied Leister with a bitter smile.
Laveron nodded and stroked the head of Ivew, who was soundly asleep. The navy-eyed young man immediately laid Ivew on his bed and told Leister to return to the main headquarters of the military forces.
“Oh invisible wind, protect us under your arms. Swieldn!”
Veister fell silent as he saw his silver protective shield protecting Ivew's room and Leister's. Leister's ruby bead stared at Veister who turned into his human form while chanting a protective spell.
“At least this shield is stronger than any shield I've ever made before.”
Veister said and glanced at Leister who was waiting for him in front of the connecting door. The ruby-eyed young man nodded and closed the door connecting his room with Ivew's room letting the owner fall asleep.
Leister sat on the sofa in front of her bed followed by Veister sitting in front of her. Both of them were quiet and busy with their own thoughts.
“Actually what happened in that meeting room? Why should Ivew come?” tanya Veister broke the silence.
Leister explained all the things that happened without exception including the Emperor's final order ordering the land military to join the expedition to Rizer City.
“Tuan Veister what do you think ... the emperor did not utilize his power Ivew for his ambition?” leister looked at Veister.
The young man with two-colored eyes chuckled faintly upon hearing Leister's innocent question. Of course Emperor Aradi will utilize the power of Ivew, especially the natural power users have disappeared since the last ten years that caused chaos during the great war against the previous monsters.
This resulted in humans losing most of their territory. It was fortunate that by then the idea of the emperor who was still the crown prince had managed to create a protective wall of the city by utilizing the remaining power of magicians.
The presence of Ivew as a natural power user is a valuable variable that can be exploited. In fact, Duke Ekan Flowerlax had already done it long before the emperor planned it.
Utilizing the emerald-eyed girl attacked the monsters and reduced their expenditure in terms of witches and also the military troops to be sent. Nature will always help its users at least that's what everyone knows.
Leister fell silent as Veister responded to his question with a laugh. The ruby-eyed youth sighed and realized his mistake in asking. The smile the emperor gave Ivew always troubled him.
Although Emperor Aradi is famous for being very fond of the crown prince and the queen, but the imperious nature of the emperor is very famous among the nobility. The king would put anything first for the benefit of his people and it was a good thing that the people were grateful for but for nobles like Duke Ekan Flowerax he had to try to resist the imperious attitude of the emperor in order to get his attention.
“Every ruler is like that, isn't he? Use anything that can benefit them. No matter how good a ruler himself must have used others. That's the world of politics.”
Leister nodded upon hearing the answer given by Veister. The two-colored-eyed youth was right. Especially for Ivew who got the emperor's attention because of his potential power. The emperor would definitely do anything for the safety of the world he led and the nobles would have to follow his orders if not to end in death.
Leister glanced at the black-silver-robed young man in front of her who got up to his feet and walked towards the room window.
“Ivew should be able to control his emotions. Don't let his strength turn into a disaster.”
